Formula is so simple: people pay if it is cheap, and more convenient than torrenting. BTW, anyone out there going to buy Radiohead's new one on pure principle? Just curious.

I bought most my music in the early 90's, when (for me) the music released was more interesting then nowadays. The last few years I barely bought anything and instead enjoy the wonderful (mostly amateur) music found at places like SoundCloud. I am surprised the number is still so high.

The chart only really demonstrates that sales for digital are declining at a similar rate to sales of CDs, whereas previously the new formats quickly replaced / outsold the previous formats.
